Velocity Performance Indexes for Parallel Mechanisms with Actuation Redundancy
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyses the velocity isotropy of Parallel Mechanism with Actuation Redundancy. The limits of classical indexes based on the Jacobean matrix condition number are shown. Two new indexes are proposed, and the ways to compute them efficiently are given. In section 2, some basic issues related to condition number are firstly recalled and one of its important limitations is pointed out when considering PMAR: this index does not provide a proper measure of kinematic isotropy. Section 3 is dedicated to the definition of a new index which is consistent with the classical condition number since it refers to measures made on a velocity ellipsoid; however this ellipsoid is rather different from the usual one. Two different algorithms are given: one is based on derivations made in joint space, and the other one on derivations made in operational space. Section 4 is a discussion about different possible indexes and the relevant algorithms: they are based on an analysis of the velocity polytop.

Velocity performance indices for parallel mechanisms with actuation redundancy
This paper analyses the concept of velocity isotropy for Parallel Mechanisms with Actuation Redundancy (PMAR). The limits of classical indices based on the Jacobean matrix condition number are shown. It is proposed to use either the largest ellipsoid included in the operational polytop, or the operational polytop itself, as better representations of a PMAR capabilities. The polytop is studied b...
متن کاملKinetostatic Performance of a Planar Parallel Mechanism with Variable Actuation
This paper deals with a new planar parallel mechanism with variable actuation and its kinetostatic performance. A drawback of parallel mechanisms is the non homogeneity of kinetostatic performance within their workspace. The common approach to solve this problem is the introduction of actuation redundancy, that involves force control algorithms. Another approach, highlighted in this paper, is t...

In this paper a redundancy allocation problem is studied where for the first time the supplier selection is taken into consideration and redundant components are provided from appropriate suppliers with the most suitable offers such as discount on buying price of components, warranty length for components, things like that, so that the system reliability, profit and the warranty length proposed...
متن کاملA redundancy allocation problem with the choice of redundancy strategies by a memetic algorithm
This paper proposes an efficient algorithm based on memetic algorithm (MA) for a redundancy allocation problem without component mixing (RAPCM) in a series-parallel system when the redundancy strategy can be chosen for individual subsystems. Majority of the solution methods for the general RAPCM assume that the type of a redundancy strategy for each subsystem is pre-determined and known a prior...
